Where will the Yellow Jackets tread tonight? Heaven or Hell?
Let's talk about the Hokies. Winner of 6 straight and current leaders of the ACC Coastal division, Virginia Tech is a daunting challenge for the Yellow Jackets this evening.
Can the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets step up in primetime? On ESPN? The greatest test against "good teams don't lose two games in a row" comes tonight.
As you read this, you'll realize I wrote this rushed. I am currently en route to Blacksburg where I will drive 7 hours, watch 4 hours of football, and then drive 7 hours home. (Gotta love weddings right?). In the the rest hours there will be a mini blogger-palooza that will include Joe from TheKeyPlay, furrer4heisman of GobblerCountry and Bird of this very site. Next time we will tell weddings planners to take a hike when they interfere with bloggerpaloozas.
I don't think there is much to say about this game. Out of all our opponents I think we know the most about georgie and Virginia Tech so I feel like I'll just be re-hashing old material but here's the gist: We NEED this game. Badly. Desperately. To right the season, to keep us in the season. We NEED this game. The Hokies have clearly turned their season around. They dominate the middle portion of the football game. It's their house. Why should the lose? Because we need this game.
The Hokies weakness is in their defense. They are young and have shown they have the ability to falter. Their strengths are in their offense with the combination of Tyrod Taylor and the 100 Proof Backfield they have multiple options to produce. The 2010 season has shown that the Jackets have limited options to produce but at times, have been able to put a drive or two together. That has to happen tonight.
We need this game.
Not the greatest write-up for sure but it's all I got. Post your thoughts here for GT / VPI discussion!

Hokies not feeling confident about this game
Yes, we have won 6 in a row but beat only one really good team in that 6 so you can’t go entirely by that. We lost to JMU and that will always haunt us, no matter how well we played last week. The Jackets are a hungry team and VT is poised for a huge letdown, even at home. This is a prime time stage and Tyrod Taylor doesn’t do that well in big games. Yes, our Hokies SHOULD win this game according to the stats and the record but Georgia Tech just seems ready for a turnaround and the ramblin wreck will probably wreck the Hokies season tonight. This night coming up reminds me of the cloudy night against BC a few years ago when the Matt Ryan Ghost sunk us in the last two minutes. I don’t think it will be that close tonight, I hate to say it, but it looks like a 28 – 13 W for the Jackets.
